Carlos Cotto Biography

Carlos Cotto is one of the most popular and richest Amateur Wrestler who was born on February 13, 1980 in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Carlos Omar Cotto Cruz, a professional boxer and wrestler from Puerto Rico was born February 13, 1980. He is known as El Chicano, and performs for the International Wrestling Association (IWA) and World Wrestling Council. Cotto was the only person to win all the eligible championships while performing for the first. He later became a Universal Heavyweight Champion in second. He also worked as El Ilegal for Mexicans AAA and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre for the second. Chicano is a nine-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Cotto was scheduled to defend the title against Total Nonstop Action’s Legends Champion Booker T in a “champions vs. champs” contest. This contest was part an annual event called “Histeria Boricua”. Cotto won the pinfall by inverting a “Book End”, resulting in the conclusion. The promotion hosted a special event called “Noche de Campeones” on February 14, 2009. Cotto defended his Undiputed Championship against Samoa Joe on this card. Noel Rodriguez intervened in the fight’s final stages and injured the referee. After converting a finisher, Cotto won a pinfall win and received the count from a substitute referee.

On March 5, 2011, Cotto returned to IWA in a live event alongside Abbad and the WWC Women’s Champion La Morena. The tag team was dissolved in the middle of a feud, due to an injury to his partner. Cotto continued to feud for the tag team championships, but once the opportunity took place, he was removed, in order to introduce Savio Vega’s student, Diego de Jesús. He was subsequently fired as part of a storyline, returning masked under his El Illegal character. He continued wrestling unmasked in the independent circuit, even challenging for the Extreme Wrestling Organization’s heavyweight title under his common character, in a contest that ended in a double disqualification. Cotto went on to pursue a feud with the Intercontinental and Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, Chris Angel. He was initially awarded the Intercontinental belt and Angel’s undefeated record, but the result was revoked due to external interference from a second masked “Illegal” and an unclean pin. In a rematch, he won the Championship in a two on one contest, pinning Phillip Davian following an attack from a third masked wrestler. Zona 101 reunited on December 10, 2011, in Caribbean Wrestling Federation, an independent promotion based in the south region of Puerto Rico, where he teamed with one half of the CWF Tag Team Champions. The following week, the team was booked over Dennis Rivera and Noel Rodríguez. On December 17, 2011, Cotto won the EWO World Heavyweight Championship, only to be interrupted by IWA president Miguel Pérez. This was in response to a previous confrontation between both, that occurred following a benefit card where Cotto wrestled and defeated Mesias. After defending the title at Tierra de Nadie 2012, Pérez once again reclaimed his contract. This was followed by confrontations in IWA’s Histeria Boricua and Kaos & Odissey, which expanded to include EWO’s CEO, Richard Rondón, as well. On February 25, 2012, following more intervention from the IWA, Cotto issued a challenge to end the conflict, an unification match for the EWO World Heavyweight Championship and IWA Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship. On March 1, 2012, the challenge was accepted by Pérez and Rondón in a backstage segment. At Clash of the Titans, Cotto lost the EWO World Championship, losing to a masked wrestler only known as “Bonecrusher”, whom he had defeated to win this belt and had since gained the IWA Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. In this match, a new angle was launched that involved him being involved in “friendly” confrontations with the other members of his stable, which was continued in the next event, Payback.

During his youth, Cotto trained to become a boxer along Orlando Piñero and family members Evangelista and Miguel Cotto. But he abandoned boxing in order to pursue a career as a wrestler, keeping this undisclosed to the general public. However, while taking his daughter Doris to a boxing gym he began training himself and soon became interested in resuming his involvement in the sport. On August 24, 2012, Cotto announced that he was officially preparing to begin a parallel career as a boxer. He joined the municipal gymnasium of Aguas Buenas, where he began training along Efraín Román, Armando Alamo, Jonuel Tapia and one of his cousins, Abner Cotto. After entering the municipality’s amateur tournament, he noted a desire to challenge Gerardo Bisbal before entering the professional ranks, where he intended to pursue the latter’s brother, Victor Bisbal. Cotto made his amateur debut on September 28, 2012, defeating his opponent by RSC after 30 seconds of the first round, also earning the recognition of “Most Spectacular Fight” of the night.

Chicano and “Los Fugitivos de la Calle”, his partners (El Niche Lynx, El Cuervo), appeared on a TV segment of WWC’s “Las Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre”. Bryan Madness, his friend from “Lucha Libre 101”, was also present. Chicano and Bryan were crowned the WWC Tag Team Champion at Euphoria 2010. They won by pinfall over Thunder & Lightning, with El Cuervo’s intervention. The Fugitivos attacked Chicano, who teamed up with BJ to win the WWC World Tag Team Championship twice. In November 2010, he left the promotion to work for AAA Mexico.
